Turbo failue

I just thought that I would post about my blown turbo to warn other of the best immediate action. The sudden failure produced a massive smoke cloud that sucked out all the oil within a few hundred yards.  The moral of the story is to stop ASAP to prevent all the oil being used and possibly damaging the cat in the process.  I was advised that if you stop ASAP the damage can be limited to just the turbo and the car economically repaired..

    So that was the full "James Bond" failure?

    Yes, very much so, a complete smokescreen to escape detection
